Head light problem tonight
Low beams didn't come back on.
Went out for a ride tonight. Coming home entering the on ramp for the highway at speed. I turned the high beams on for a few seconds then turn them off. My low beams didn't come on !! Not happy. Turned high beams back on to get off the ramp and pull over. Turned the bike off and on still no low beams. Ride home with high beams and piss everyone off. Once home I left the bike running with the light switch set on low beams. about 2 minutes later low beams came back on ?? If I go to high beams and back to low no low for 2-3 minutes then they magically reappear. Why has Lucas the prince of darkness possesed my bike it's not British !!

Most likely cause would be the contacts in the start switch that turn the lights off as you start the engine. Take the switch apart, clean the contacts with contact cleaner, reassemble with dialectric grease.

My suspect would be your low beam relay. You might try swapping the high and low beam relays and see if the problem is reversed, i.e. your high beams take a few minutes to come on.
